I've got a job for an expandable MPU in AS2. When you rollOver the MPU it expands and has a rollOff button covering the whole of the expanded part. But I have also got a Close button on the expanded panel that you have to click to also retract the panel. what the code is to allow you to rollOUT of the expanded panel part but onto the Close button without it retracting before you click on it.

View 3 RepliesSo I got this AS3 game thats completely written in Flex without the .fla file and I want to put a clickable button that links back to a webpage to the mainmenu screen.
In the IDE and AS2(which is what I usually work in), it was just simply:
Drag button onto the screen Convert it into a button symbol and then do this:
Code:
on(release)
{
getURL("http://www.urlhere.com",_blank);

I am creating a survey in flash to survey people's opinion about the temperature in a building. What I am hoping to do is have a scale which the surveyee can click on (see attached image) with 5 options from Too warm, warm, just right, cool, and too cold, and record where on the scale they click.
For example, if "Just Right" were correlated to an answer of 3 and "Warm" was correlated to an answer of 2, and a user were to click halfway between the two, I would want the recorded value to be 2.5. If they click closer to "Just Right" I want the recoded answer to be 2.8, etc.
It seems that the quick and dirty way I can think of doing this is to create a serious of invisible buttons over my scale which can then tell me where they click, but then I am limited in the granularity of the answer and it would just be a pain to create that many buttons.
what i am trying to achieve:i need to create a navigation MC that, when rolled over, opens up to reveal a few buttons. (and when rolled off closes the navigation MC - basically a "play backwards" MC)
[Code]...
it is in fact MC created with duplicateMovieClip("ButtonTemplate", "Button1", this.getNextHighestDepth()); and on (press) event on it, so it acts as button. On clicking it, it moves playhead to a frame 10 where it should not exist while template button is placed on layer that has frames only 1-5 and it loads a MC that covers it and even has command
_root.coveringMC.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDe pth());
I still get "hand cursor" on hovering covered button and is still clickable?

Got a button (imported png defined as a button in the library).The button is dragged onto the stage, given an instance name "btn".Clicking the button fires an eventListener which is doing all the right things, except...
btn.enabled = false;

without using alpha 0% in Flash5
this is the problem.
i want to make a button invisible. however, since using alpha 0% will create colordifferences with 16bit colors, I want to use _visible = "0"; (like you would on a MC).
one option is to put a MC inside the button and make that invisible, but obviously you can't without an onClipEvent handler, but if you do so, it doesn't work.
puting the button inside a MC is the second option, and with the _visible command it works... however, it also stops the button from working.
is there a way to get a true invisible button that still remains clickable????

View 9 RepliesI've gone through an mp3 tutorial series and modified the final result for what i'm looking for. one thing i would like though is to be able to add another attribute in for a clickable button that links to another page that would have lyrics. so my xml would look like this i believe or something close <song name ="Test Track 4" band ="Band4" file="test4.mp3" lyrics="testlyrics.html" /> basically so it adds another button in after the track listing so you can click and view the lyrics that would be on a separate page. I don't quite understand how it all draws together in flash actionscript and how to put the lyrics attribute on another button.
